== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* ''[[Fallout New Vegas]]'' has only two weapons that use .22LR ammunition; a silenced .22 pistol and a silenced .22 SMG. They both have free silencers and high critical chance, but do such low damage you'd be better off smacking your foe with a bit of pipe. No literally; these guns have base damage of 9 and 10- a BB Gun has a base of 4, a lead pipe has a base of 22, and the high end weapons are in the 100s. The 9mm pistol doesn't fare much better, with a base of 16.

** However the complete silence of the .22 makes it great for assassinations since if you can find a dark corner to hide in you can kill a target in the middle of a crowded room without anyone noticing, and the combination of high critical rate, high accuracy, and low AP cost means that you can take down an unarmored target with headshots almost as easily as with your big hand-cannons. Not to mention that it's the only gun that you can take in places where weapons are forbidden without a high sneak skill. The 9mm is still useless once you can find anything else.

* ''[[Hitman]] Contracts'' has the [[SG 220]], a pistol with a seven round magazine and almost no stopping power. It is, however, very quiet.

** ''Silent Assassin'' also had the Makarov and .22 pistols, both of which had little stopping power. Of course, if you ''need'' stopping power, [[Stealth Based Game|you're a bad player.]]
